The morning sun streamed softly through the bedroom windows as June stood before the mirror, gently pressing a hand against her slightly swollen stomach. For days, she had dismissed the symptoms—bloatedness, slight nausea, a strange but familiar tiredness that clung to her bones. At first, she thought it was stress or the whirlwind of meetings and responsibilities that had become her life ever since her marriage to Xander and the transfer of her company’s control. But something deep within her, almost instinctual, urged her to get checked.

So that morning, she quietly booked an appointment at the private hospital she trusted. The waiting room was silent, the walls white and sterile, yet June’s heart raced louder than the ticking clock above her. She sat, nervously clutching her handbag, her fingers trembling as she waited for the nurse to call her in.

When her name was finally called, she stood up slowly, her heels clicking gently against the floor as she followed the nurse into the e

  • When love turns to ashes    I’m sorry we lost the baby

    Larry sat alone in the living room of his penthouse, the silence around him growing heavier by the minute. The hum of the city outside did little to quiet the thoughts racing through his mind. A glass of whiskey sat untouched on the table beside him his appetite for the burn long replaced by the ache in his chest. No matter how many times he tried to distract himself, his thoughts always returned to her.June.Her name lingered in his head like a prayer and a curse. He had done everything wrong. He had crushed her spirit, destroyed her trust, and turned their love into ashes. But even after everything, he couldn’t move on. Not truly. Especially not with Audrey. He glanced toward the hallway where she had disappeared hours ago, likely asleep. She was carrying his child or so she claimed but there was no warmth between them, no connection. Just silence. Just regret.And yet, it wasn’t just guilt that gnawed at him now it was fear. A deep, unexplainable fear that Xander wasn’t the man J

  • When love turns to ashes    Is it too late

    The final stretch of June’s pregnancy arrived with a quiet calm that neither she nor Xander expected. The chaos, the schemes, the unspoken truths—all seemed to quiet down like the lull before a storm. Something about watching June walk around their home with her round belly, humming softly, glowing with the joy of motherhood, made Xander hesitate in ways he never had before.At first, he had decided to stay merely out of obligation—or so he told himself. His plan had been simple: wait until the baby was born, pretend to be the perfect husband a little longer, and then make a graceful exit. He would leave the child with June; after all, she was already used to taking care of herself. He convinced himself she wouldn’t need him, and he’d fulfilled his role. In the eyes of the world, he’d be the loving father who did what was expected.But something unexpected happened in those quiet, domestic months. June, in all her softness and strength, began to reach the parts of Xander’s heart he ha

  • When love turns to ashes    I know your plans

    Audrey sat in the backseat of her luxury sedan, staring out the tinted window, one manicured finger gently tapping against her cheek as her lips curled into a smug smile. Her phone, resting delicately in her palm, still displayed the last message she’d received screenshots of emails, secret property documents, and backdoor transactions. All tied back to Xander. All proof of his calculated betrayal.She had stumbled upon it by accident or so it seemed. In truth, Audrey had never stopped watching June. Not because she cared, but because she was waiting for a moment like this. June had always been a thorn in her side too confident, too favored, too adored even in her flaws. And now, to see her once again make the same mistake falling blindly in love with a man who only saw her as a means to an end it was almost poetic.Audrey laughed softly, leaning her head back against the leather seat. “So this is what June’s beloved husband is up to,” she whispered to herself. “Secretly turning over

  • When love turns to ashes    Maybe it’s too late

    The nightclub was glowing with energy neon lights blinked in sync with the deep bass that rumbled through the floor. The velvet-roped VIP section shimmered with laughter, perfume, and smoke, but in the midst of all the glitz, Xander sat hunched over his drink, the ice in his whiskey melting slowly like the mask he wore every day.His friends Malik, Terrence, and Raymond had been there from the beginning. They'd grown up together in privilege, forged their brotherhood in parties, schools, scandals, and secrets. They were used to seeing Xander with a woman on each arm, always in control. But tonight, they noticed something different. His silence was heavier than the music. His smile, forced. His energy, erratic.Malik finally spoke up, nudging him slightly. “Yo, man. You good? You’ve been quiet the whole night. You should be floating new wife, company under your belt, legacy secured. This should be the highlight of your life.”Xander let out a dry laugh, finishing the last of his drink.

  • When love turns to ashes    The narcissist

    June stood in front of the mirror in their bedroom, carefully brushing her hair. A peaceful smile played on her lips as her hand instinctively moved to her belly. Just days ago, she had cried tears of joy alone in the bathroom stall of her doctor’s office. Now she was carrying the child of the man she had grown to trust and love, the man who had saved her from heartbreak or so she thought.She turned as the door opened, her heart leaping slightly at the sound of Xander’s footsteps.“There’s my handsome husband,” she said softly, her voice glowing with warmth.Xander stood in the doorway, his expression unreadable. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, his face freshly shaved, the very image of the perfect partner. He forced a smile, one he’d perfected over the years just the right mix of affection and calm.“You look beautiful,” he said, walking toward her.June blushed, looking down. “It must be the pregnancy glow.”He leaned in and kissed her forehead gently, his hand brushing over her
